Nvidia may be set to announce a mobile GTX 1080 GPU, with a soon to be launched MSI laptop reportedly using two of these new GPUs.

The mobile GTX 1080 GPU is set to use the same 8GB GDDR5X frame buffer but will likely ship with slightly lower clock speeds than Nvidia's desktop counterpart. With the current mobile flagship from Nvidia being the GTX 980 the mobile GTX 1080 will offer around a 2x improvement in terms of pure performance, which is revolutionary for the mobile market.

According to Videocardz the first laptop to use Nvidia's mobile GTX 1080 will be the MSI GT83VR Titan SLI, which will have two of these new GPUs in SLI.

Below are the rumoured specifications of Nvidia's upcoming mobile GPUs. These new GPU should deliver performance that is very close to Nvidia's desktop GPU counterparts, though these mobile variants may run at slightly lower clock speeds. These specifications are rumoured and have not been officially confirmed by Nvidia.
